About Charm
 
Our mission is to reverse climate change and return the atmosphere to 280 ppm COâ‚‚, profitably. We convert waste biomass into carbon-rich bio-oil and inject it into permanent, underground storage as carbon removal, or reform the bio-oil to produce syngas for fossil-free steel.
 
Our carbon removal pathway took off in 2020 with initial purchases from customers like Stripe, Shopify & Microsoft. In 2021 and 2022 we delivered thousands of tons of carbon removal via off-the-shelf pathways, and also deployed our first R&D prototype pyrolyzer of our own. In the next 18 months, we'll build and deploy the next pyrolyzer revision, demonstrate our fossil-free ironmaking pilot, substantially expand our operations in Colorado and put thousands of tonnes of COâ‚‚e underground.
 
We're looking to expand our team of ambitious creative and hands-on engineers, fabricators, operators, and forward-thinking humans. We value psychological safety and collaboration. We take calculated risks and don't sweep mistakes under the rug; instead, we pin them to the wall and learn from them. We value that everyone’s unique backgrounds and perspectives shape their work. We encourage you to read our company values.
 
Come help us reverse climate change. Gigatons or bust!
 
About the Role 
 
This role requires a technical background in engineering, physics, chemistry, science, math or similar. You’ll be responsible for program managing many of our most important and complex company-wide initiatives that don’t easily fit into any of our leadership team’s functional scopes. For example, on the high end of complexity: program managing deployment of our first-of-kind pyrolysis operations in Colorado in 2024 and ensuring we hit our Charm-produced carbon removal delivery targets. And on the small end: driving weekly all hands content creation. This role reports directly to Peter, our CEO, and may grow to include a small number of direct reports—e.g. Technical Program Managers—over time.

Requirements:

    • Very high communication bandwidth over email, slack, text, phone, docs, etc.
    • Ability to quickly research, understand and synthesize complex information in new areas.
    • Preternatural ability to organize people and projects; including prioritizing, tracking and ensuring rapid progress.
    • Extreme comfort in spreadsheets full of science, engineering and finance.
    • No project management buzzwords, just a relentless focus on getting stuff done.

Bonus (but not required):

    • Experience at a hardware company scaling up.
    • Experience with manufacturing, chemical plants or agricultural operations.
$175,000 - $200,000 a year
The anticipated salary range is $175,000-$200,000 dependent on factors such as experience within the job, within the industry, education, location, etc
